It would have helped if any of those interviewed were to clarify which lane you have to be in, when leaving the airport, and going into downtown Oranjestad. I did exactly what the police officer said not to, and humped over the curb, after going in circles for about 3 times. I think a sign, as you exit the airport ,saying "take middle/center/outer (whichever is correct) lane for Oranjestad" would be a lot of help.
I remember having to enter into inner circle when eventually it would be a left (without a roundabout)? An overhead view of the different types of roundabouts would be helpful. Thx for posting
No. As was said in the video roundabouts cost more than traffic lights initially, but quite quickly break even and then afterwards are cheaper than lights. Also roundabouts SAVE time because you don't have to unnecessarily wait at a intersection for a light to change when there is nobody else at the intersection. Whatever time you lose by having to slow down to take the roundabout is very easily recovered by having to spend less time waiting at the intersection.
